Product Information

If you don’t choose a universal DAB antenna for your car, like this one from the Ancable store, you’ll need to ensure the connection points are compatible with your vehicle. Universal aerials are often best because you can use them with any car. Simplicity Before fitting DAB aerial film to your windscreen, clean the glass. Some aerials will even come with a microfiber cloth or wipe for cleaning. The surface needs to be totally dirt-free and absent of dust. Make sure the metal bodywork is clean too, for the earth plane strip.

In-car digital radios and adapters need a suitable DAB signal to receive digital stations. A DAB windscreen aerial is a relatively cheap and easy to install option. In this guideDAB transmissions are vertically polarised, so DAB aerials work best when positioned vertically. What is an amplified antenna? Finally a windscreen film antenna could be another option. How to install a replacement roof DAB car aerial A splitter / convertor could be a good option too. Where the car aerial is mounted on the wing or is an electronic extending aerial a splitter could be used. Splitters only work on non-amplified aerials. If you have replaced the AM/FM radio in an older car with a DAB radio, you will probably need a new aerial, though you can alternatively use an aerial splitter which will essentially convert an existing AM/FM aerial into a DAB aerial. How should a DAB aerial be positioned? Alternatively, if you need to connect the power, use the thin power cable to connect to your 12-volt source. You could use the ignition supply to the radio for power too.

The plastic trim on the A pillar should pull away easily, starting from the top of the car. You may need to pull some of the rubber strip on the door too. Step 3: Clean upDoes the car already have a roof mount aerial? If the aerial is in the bodywork or embedded in a rear window there will not be an aerial to replace. If you notice your aerial and radio have different connectors upon installation, you may need to buy an adapter. Step 8: Power the aerial Depending on the design of your aerial, you may be able to route the cable behind your car dashboard, into an adapter on the console, or a DAB radio system. The aerial will include 2 cables, one for power, and one for the DAB signal (with an SMB connector). Step 2: Remove the trim on the A pillar
